Artwork for the reverse of Pandora’s Tower and The Last Story’s European covers, as chosen by fan votes. These are both way, way nice. That is some rad art to hide in the inside of a game cover.
Next year, Europeans will be able to go to the shop like it’s totally normal, pick up both of these games, and flip the covers around to these pieces. Then they can display the boxes on their shelves as proud trophies of the time that they bought two Wii games in 2012.
Meanwhile, Americans… actually, I’m still pretty confident Nintendo of America is going to “surprise” us with these games and Xenoblade. There won’t be any fancy reversible covers or anything like that, I’m sure.

Wow, I haven’t followed Mistwalker’s action RPG much — that is, unless you count the attention I’ve paid to vital gameplay aspects like packaging and promotional posters. Now I’m paying for that negligence in my not knowing what’s going on in this Wii game other than its battles looks awesome.
NeoGAF has more links to videos from last night’s public presentation on The Last Story, while Andriasang has an English liveblog of the Japanese conference.

The Last Story promotional poster (click for a larger image). You probably already saw the awesome artwork on this game’s Wii hardware bundle, but this is the most splendid piece out of everything Nintendo revealed today.
Sadly, this isn’t the actual art that will adorn the disc’s case. Those who preorder the game in Japan, though, will receive an excellent “Elements of The Last Story” bonus with a mini soundtrack and visual book encased in this fine box:

Before you ask, no, nothing regarding the game or its bundles/bonuses have been announced for North America yet, which seems to be the theme for all our posts today.

tags / the last story / mistwalker / poster / imports / preorder / ecSpeaking of Mistwalker, Blue Dragon Plus is currently on sale for $8.99 on Amazon. 1UP has a very low opinion of the real-time strategy game, but many other outlets had very positive things to say about it. Of course, some of you might be saving your dollars for another dragon-themed DS game… I’m talking about Dragonology, of course.

Wicked gameplay trailer for The Last Story, Mistwalker’s upcoming Wii RPG featuring real-time combat and cover systems. I haven’t followed this game at all other than admiring the occasional concept art released by Mistwalker and Nintendo (which is publishing this in Japan at least) — obviously, this is a failing on my part. So, expect more coverage of The Last Story here in the future!

This tender piano composition opens up Nintendo’s teaser site for the upcoming Metroid game, accompanied by a rare Samus Aran audio clip (in Japanese): “A dream. It’s as if I was watching a playback of a tragedy that really happened.”
Metroid: Other M is slated to release in Japan this summer. Nintendo also revealed teaser sites with similarly sentimental music for two other Wii games: The Last Story from Archaic Sealed Heat developer Mistwalker; and Xenoblade (formerly Monado) from Xenosaga/Baten Kaitos studio Monolith Soft.
